Tiumalu Ali'i Jody Hassel
Co-Founder, Trauma Specialist, Ancestral Oracle
Stemming from her roots as an educator, trauma survivor, transracial adoptee, and artist, Jody brings a sense of deep listening, attunement to embodiment, courageous compassion, and wound wisdom to her practice of ancestral medicine. She spends much of her time navigating her Samoan, Scandinavian, French lineages in auto-ethnographic memoir, songwriting, mindful movement, and Polynesian dance. Living on the unceded territory of the Lower Tanana Dené, Jody enlists her understanding of personal and community trauma to inform rituals of embodiment and the arts, creating access to healing, social-justice repair, and shared power. www.ToTheRootRecovery.comhttps://www.totheroot.net/
